The assembly of a cilium, a specialized eukaryotic locomotor organelle that consists of a filiform extrusion of the cell surface. Each cilium is bounded by an extrusion of the cytoplasmic membrane, and contains a regular longitudinal array of microtubules, anchored basally in a centriole. The assembly of a the bundle of microtubules and associated proteins that forms the core of cilia in eukaryotic cells and is responsible for their movements. The assembly and organization of an axoneme, the bundle of microtubules and associated proteins that forms the core of cilia and flagella in eukaryotic cells and is responsible for their movements. A process that results in a parallel arrangement of microtubules. Formation of a prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. A process that is carried out at the cellular level and by which the structure of a cilium is organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
